Tumblarity: A Rant

I don’t get it. How is that my Tumblarity decreased when I reblogged posts and also people liked my posts? Get it together Tumblr. Seriously, if you are going to put a ranking system on your site, then at least be upfront with the parameters that you use to determine that ranking.

As someone who works in Social Media, I think it is important to be transparent and open about the reason you do the things you do. That being said, there is very little I don’t like about Tumblr, but the Tumblarity thing doesn’t make any sense to me. So, my questions to you, Tumblr employees, are as follows:

a.) Why is there a ranking system in the first place? Whose call was that?

b.) What determines Tumblarity points?

c.) Why does Tumblarity decrease so rapidly? Is it due to inactivity? I can’t reblog while I sleep you know. Shouldn’t I be able to maintain at least some level of ranking from day to day?

d.) Do I have to be a douche nozzle like Topher Chris to get any sort of notoriety on here? I have a real job and I can’t dick around all day like some people. Why am I being punished for that?

Answers????
